ANN: Dr.Explain 4.0 -- Rapid Creation of Help Systems to Speed up

" ... Over 10 new major features and enhancements provide ISVs and
technical writers with more flexibility to create state-of-the-art
CHM Help, Web Help, RTF and PDF manuals ..."

Indigo Byte Systems, LLC today introduces Dr.Explain 4.0, the most
significant release of its innovative help authoring software, with
over 10 new features and enhancements, including improved interface
usability, customizable page layout, visual styles, on-demand
screenshot annotating mode, search and index functionality in HTML
manuals, PDF output and more. New Dr.Explain makes it even easier and
faster to document software, ensuring faster software rollouts. The
new version is available as a free trial from www.drexplain.com.

Unique to Dr.Explain is its innovative approach to making help
documentation much quicker than it is with other tools. The program
parses a live application and automatically produces screenshots of
its windows along with a sequence of explanatory callouts for each
control. The process is accurate and fully automated, so the user only
has to enter a description for each callout. The project can be
exported to HTML, CHM Help, RTF or PDF format. Dr.Explain 4.0 includes
but not limited to the following key new features:

# Improved usability - The newest version introduces a wide work
area, sleek icons and slim toolbars, contributing to increased
user satisfaction.
# Customizable look - In the new version, the user can rearrange
objects and change layout page content remarkably easily in the
editor.
# On-demand screenshot annotating mode - The workspace area is
grabbed only when required. The floating panels will help the
user to organize the workspace layout as needed.
# Search and Index in HTML manuals - This feature doesn't require
scripting capabilities on a server and may be used even on
websites with free hosting.
# PDF output - Now the user can export help documentation to
Adobe PDF with support for national characters, images,
hyperlinks, bookmarks and table of contents.

P.S.: A free serial number for Dr.Explain 4.0 is provided to magazine
editors, internet columnists, bloggers and webmasters who intend to
write a review of the program on their website, blog or column.
